Hi, It is not clear from the documentation how exactly the deposit works. The date field is missing.
Partial/Deposit - Optionally, specify a required partial payment or deposit on the invoice, with its own due date, separate from, and owed before the invoice due date for the invoice’s full amount.
So how one goes about setting up a deposit in % to the total and date due?

Hi,
The app requires the partial/deposit to be a fixed amount, you’d need to calculate it from the percentage when setting it up.
Feel free to create an issue to request support set the partial/deposit by percentage:

feature request
:question: *Please move to flutter repo if this doesn't belong here?* :question:…
**What version of Invoice Ninja are you running? ie v4.5 / v5**
5.1.32
**What environment are you running?**
Docker
**Have you searched existing issues/requests?**
yes
**Screenshots**
no
**Additional context**
A deposit is often (usually?) specified as a percent of the total amount. E.g. I'll do the job but I require a 50% deposit up front.
But the new quote/invoice form's "Partial/Deposit" field takes an absolute value, not a percentage.
Please consider adding a percent feature as that would make creating new transactions much faster. Right now you need to take out a calculator and do the calculation manually (and have to double check everything as you don't trust yourself :smile:).
Even better would be to be able to set a default value, e.g. `50%`.
*Thanks for considering it.*
(BTW: the "Discount" field has a "Percent"/"Amount" dropdown - so there is a precedent, and maybe this is a copy-paste job?)

If you set a value for the partial/deposit field you’ll be able to set a second date.

I guess there is no hope for a simple equation to be added since the request been open for 3 years.
I’ll go make an request over at github. THanks
